Those people are a sample of the general population. Most of the people on that bus are not blaring music or aggressively panhandling. A small percentage, just like in the general population, are. I imagine, from the above poster's comments, that they have chosen to live in a community which isolates itself from a large portion of the population. When utilizing a service like the bus, or maybe the DMV(Department of Motor Vehicles), they are now forced to be around the general population that they have been able to avoid for most of their life. My point is that their comments have less to do with the bus, and more to do with their opinions on the general population. Of which they typically spend very little time around.

> Most of the people on that bus are not blaring music or aggressively panhandling. A small percentage, just like in the general population, are. My point is that the rest of the "general population" is upset by that "small percentage" as much as OP, and the "general population" wishes there was more aggressive enforcement of social and legal norms on the bus. And that it's elitist to fault OP for his view, instead of faulting the government for not properly policing the bus.

The percentage seems to be a lot higher than the general public. We don't see anything like this rate of crazy and abusive behavior at baseball games or Walmart.
